Teams at Energetics Technology Center

Leads execution of multiple defense research and engineering programs, translating customer objectives into technical plans and coordinating multidisciplinary teams. Manages scope, schedules, budgets, risks, resources, deliverables, reviews, and customer communications. Reviews technical products, supports testing and corrective actions, prepares proposals and reports, and ensures quality, configuration management, safety, and security practices. The role is onsite in Indian Head, Maryland, with occasional travel and possible work outside normal hours.

Develops physics-based warhead and weapon-performance simulations involving shock physics, energetic materials, fragmentation, blast, penetration, and terminal effects. Calibrates and validates models against experimental data, quantifies uncertainty, supports gas-gun and ballistics testing, and translates analysis into design recommendations. Collaborates with test, materials, warhead, and government teams while preparing technical reports, visualizations, documentation, and briefings. The role is hybrid in Indian Head, Maryland, with occasional travel and potential work outside normal hours.

Leads system safety planning and qualification support for warheads, fuzing, and energetic subsystems. Develops safety plans, hazard analyses, risk assessments, verification strategies, safety cases, test plans, and government review packages. Coordinates engineering, test, design, suppliers, and qualification teams; integrates safety evidence; investigates anomalies; resolves findings; and advises government safety leadership on risks and review readiness. The role also mentors safety engineers and supports onsite laboratory and field-test activities.
